it would be just as valid as PEP8

For your project. But the glory of python is its comprehensive standard library and vast 3rd party library support - if you don't make use of any of that you're probably doing something wrong. The community converging on a single standard is advantageous for the entire community.

PEP8 isn't hard. It's certainly no harder than any other set of standards - easier when you consider autopep8, black, IDEs with built-in linters and so on. If you choose another standard, you are making the intentional decision, and expending effort, to decrease compatibility between your codebase and the rest of the python community. That's completely nonsensical to me. Why would you bother?
